Mr. K The Noble Man Alban Vineyard Chardonnay 2002
2002. Wow. Beautiful and elegant. Only 10% abv according to the label but I’d guess higher. Petrol, honey, Corn Pops cereal, dill, mandarin oranges, golden raisin. This is amazing. — 5 months ago

Sine Qua Non
In The Abstract White Blend 2012
Deep yellow in color with a golden hue.
The nose is so interesting with lots of unique flavors. Oak, vanilla, nuts, citrus, honey and spices.
Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with yellow apples, citrus, lemons, apricots, minerals, honeysuckle, oak, herbs, vanilla, flowers, spices, earth, white pepper and light vegetables.
Long finish with limes and almonds.
This is a beautiful 11-year-old White blend from California. Showing a soft mouth feel with nice complexity and good balance.
Drinking so nicely right out of the bottle at this point. Elegant and soft. Rich and fruity. Opulent, spicy and interesting.
A great sipping wine, really tasty and just a gorgeous wine.

Piranha Waterdance Syrah 2014
2014 vintage. Last tasted 4.26.23. Decanted both times. Deep, thoughtful nose interspersed with bludgeoned moments. Massive bod. A great blood orange streak in there from mid-palate to the not so bitter end. Still carrying plenty of baby fat and built for the long haul. 1.24.24. — 3 months ago

A very energetic mouthful, somehow ripe and pulling it own weight (with acidic towing equipment) so you don’t feel the weight but you know it has a body, like me in an empire waist dress. Zingy ripe raspberry makes friends with preserved lemon while white toast and white pepper duel it out as to who is the loudest (but not the whitest we know the toast wins that). Really a delicious steal from Tasmania. — 12 days ago
